Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 24-28 ladyfinger cookies I found mine at Whole Foods!
- 2/3 cup brewed & cooled black coffee
- 1/4 cup Kahlua or coffee liqueur
- 8 ounces (One 8-ounce tub) whipped cream cheese
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2-4 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipped cream freshly made with 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped until stiff peaks form OR one tub (8 oz Cool Whip, thawed)
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Line a square 8x8" or 9x9" pan with foil, extending the sides of the foil over the edges of the pan. Mist lightly with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the brewed coffee and Kahlua. Dunk each ladyfinger, one at a time, into the coffee mixture and line the cookies up in the bottom of the pan - you should have 2 rows of ladyfingers with about 6 ladyfingers in each row. Break up any ladyfingers to fit if needed.
- Meanwhile, beat the whipped cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla together with an electric mixer until fluffy and combined, about 1 minute. Fold in the whipped cream or Cool Whip gently. Spread half of this mixture over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat with dunking the remaining ladyfingers, lining them up, and spreading the remaining whipped cream mixture over top. Dust liberally with cocoa powder. Cover loosely and refrigerate until set, about 2-4 hours.
